Startup Tasks not executing on redirected catalog [message #1696971]

Hello,

I tried to prepare my own project catalog as mentioned here. https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring
with the little difference that I do not host the setup files on a webserver but use local file refererences.

preparing the new Eclipse instance works without problems, however the startup tasks are not executed and they are not showing up if I click "Perform Setup Tasks..." in the help menu.

finally I figured out what the problem is:

in my oomph.ini I have the following redirection:

-Doomph.redirection.setup=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->catalog/

however in the eclipse.ini of the new Eclipse instance I get these entries:

-Doomph.redirection.index.redirection=index:/->file:/c:/development/oomph/catalog
-Doomph.redirection.index.location.redirection=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->file:/c:/development/oomph/catalog

what happens is that the new Eclipse instance does not find my setup files and therefore does not execute anything at all.

I manually changed the eclipse.ini to this

-Doomph.redirection.index.redirection=index:/->file:/c:/development/oomph/catalog/
-Doomph.redirection.index.location.redirection=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->file:/c:/development/oomph/catalog/

So I assume this might be a bug which is related to the file:/ URL because it seems to work correct when using an http redirect URL in the oomph.ini.

would be great if this could be fixed before final Mars release Very Happy

Is it literally like this? The thing after the -> should be an
absolute file:... URI. Is that not the case?

yes it was intentionally that the redirect is to a relative path, because I want to use this distribution (including the setup redirection) in our company.

and it is almost works correct with the relative path, except for the missing slash at the end of the redirect.

Michael,

What is it supposed to be relative to?
